When it comes to legal research, attorneys need fast, trustworthy, and straightforward tools, and the State Bar of Texas is the first and only bar association to offer its members free access to both Casemaker and Fastcase.

The State Bar offers members access to resources, goods, and services—including the Texas Bar Private Insurance Exchange and the Texas Member Benefits Program—to help them in their professional and personal lives.

The State Bar of Texas provides resources for new attorneys. Information is available on professional requirements, legal ethics, the Texas Young Lawyers Association, law practice management, and State Bar sections.

Grievance and Ethics

The State Bar provides
non-binding, non-confidential advice to licensed
Texas attorneys on
ethics questions, including information on how to
access the rules and
find ethics opinions and caselaw to help them make
decisions.

Bar Services

Recognizing Texas Lawyers

The Texas Bar
College acknowledges Texas attorneys who
attend at least double the
Continuing Legal Education required by the
State Bar of
Texas.

CAAP

The Client Attorney Assistance Program is a
voluntary,
confidential dispute resolution service of the State
Bar of Texas.
CAAP's objective is to facilitate communication and
foster productive
dialogue to assist Texas lawyers and their clients
in resolving minor
concerns, disputes, or misunderstandings within the
context of the
attorney-client relationship.

Succession Planning

Every lawyer should have a plan in place to protect
clients and colleagues for the time when he or she no
longer can
practice.

In 2014, the State Bar Aging Lawyer Issues Task Force
issued a
report to the State Bar Board of Directors. The task
force wanted to
develop resources for attorneys on issues related to
aging, such as
transitioning to retirement, mental health issues, and
staying connected
to the community.
